Best Sounding Cars

[Guy]

IMO, the two best sounding cars are the Lexus LFA and the GMA T50. Most Ferrari V12s aren’t bad either, especially with an aftermarket exhaust.

Spot on choice. This is my favourite Ferrari V12 exhaust. Listen with good headphones!

I must admit the 456 I had on Tubis sounded pretty good.

Ferrari normally aspirated V10 F1 from 2000 - 2003 was awesome we could always tell when it was out on track from our house it sounded like nothing else but that of course was a race car and those sounds are in a different league

The Ferrari 360 that passed me the other day sounded nice, even with my windows up and playing 6Music...barp! (360AB!)

360s with a 430 exhaust can sound lovely, very much like a 360CS. Also, a shout out for any Aventador, especially the SVJ, which is more of a howl than an exhaust sound.

My Granturismo S is my best sounding car, followed by C63 and then the Quattroporte

Cosworth DFV is my favorite sounding engine.

Ford BDA in the Forrest's or today a Millington on full chat is pretty impressive.

 

[zagatoes30]

Andy Burton's Alfa Ferrari in the forest was an awesome sound, you could here it coming way before you saw it

 

[philw696]

The 306 Cosworth he built after that was also impressive sadly both sitting in his barn as now outlawed by the MSA.

I was reading about Kim Mathers twinned engine VW Scirocco in C&SC whilst in France, I remember him building this back in the day

Remember that well and my first Rally Car was a Scirocco as I wanted to be different it came at a cost as a lot of the gear I needed was more expensive than if it was for a Ford Escort meaning I had to sell my BMW 323i E21 I had to finance it.
Good Times though.

No matter how much i love the S3/RS3 line, surely they are not sounding as good as others.
300SL 1958 is missing,E type V12 is missing, F12 is missing, GTS, 4200 or Stradale are missing, Triumph TR2 is missing and -no kidding- Citroen 2CV is missing.

A 2cv is glorious in in its way indeed

 

[damnawivdaplan]

I would never thought 2cv would ever be in that conversation.

Seems most have gone with “the best” as being the loudest …..if it’s just pure engine sounds that we are talking about then my old GTV V6 Busso is up there

 

[dem maser]

Even a Fiat 0.8 Twin air sounds awesome haha

Even a Fiat 0.8 Twin air sounds awesome haha

It certainly does I'll have to do a recording of my 105 BHP with it's Magnetti Marelli Race pipe on Dem.

Takes a lot to beat an M8:

 

[Scaf]

An RS3 or M850i sound better than a Stradale……..of course they do!!

I hate the sound of my son’s RS3 sounds like a Vauxhall Corsa with an exhaust from Halfords !
